Mayhem - 1
Darkthrone - 0
No contest. The drumming on "Buried by Time and Dust" alone wins it for me.
That Mayhem album is one of the best I have heard, and while I respect that Darkthrone album, their one and only straight up Death Metal album, it doesn't live up to Mayhem.
Now had "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" been nominated instead I would have to put more thought into it.
The first Darkthrone album is good, but not even close to the level of Mayhem on that album.
